Gulf War illness (GWI) is a disorder affecting military personnel deployed in the (GW) from 1990 to 1991. Here, we will use rat model of GWI evaluate hippocampal function and cytokine levels. Rats were exposed diethyltoluamide permethrin via dermal absorption pyridostigmine bromide gavage with or without 5-min restraint for 28 days. Immediate delayed effects GW chemical exposure evaluated using...

BACKGROUND According to several studies investigating the relationship between muscle activity and electroencephalogram results, reversal of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) may affect depth of anesthesia indices. Therefore, we investigated the effect of pyridostigmine on these indices via spectral entropy. METHODS Fifty-six patients scheduled for thyroidectomy or parotidectomy were included in t...

Twenty-seven patients with myasthenia gravis have been treated with azathioprine in conjunction with pyridostigmine and prednisolone for a total of 138 patient years. Side effects necessitated discontinuation of treatment in only four patients. Treatment with azathioprine was associated with marked clinical improvement in all the remaining 23 patients, resulting in reduction in the dose of pyri...

An anaphylactic reaction during general anesthesia may cause fatal complications. Perioperative anaphylaxis can occur in response to different medications. To our knowledge, pyridostigmine or combination of pyridostigmine with glycopyrrolate-induced anaphylactic reaction during general anesthesia has not been reported. We report a case of a suspected anaphylactic reaction to these drugs. To red...

A substantial contingent of veterans from the first Gulf War continues to suffer a number War-related illnesses (GWI) affecting neurological and musculoskeletal systems; most common symptoms include chronic pain fatigue. Although animal models have recapitulated several aspects cognitive impairments in GWI, fatigue not been well documented allow examination potential pathogenic mechanisms. We u...

background: the majority of dyspeptic patients do not have identifiable disease, which is also known as functional dyspepsia. the therapeutic approach to patients with functional dyspepsia is still a matter of debate; prokinetic agents are commonly used for symptom relief. this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of domperidone and pyridostigmine (an inhibitor of cholinesterase) in patients wit...

BACKGROUND Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) induces disabling chronic orthostatic intolerance notable for an excessive increase in heart rate that occurs on standing. Many current therapeutic strategies focus on sympatholysis, but the alternative strategy of enhancing cardiovagal tone has not been studied. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that acetylcholinesterase inhi...

Background: Botulinum toxin (BoNT) or Botox injections are popular non-surgical and non-invasive option to optimize change an individual’s facial appearance achieve rejuvenation. Pyridostigmine is acetylcholinesterase inhibitor important in clinical practice. This study evaluated the toxic effect of BoNT demonstrate efficacy anticholinesterase pyridostigmine....
